Director Qiao asked someone to bring over a bottle of white wine with a high alcohol content. Wen Yanqing received it and took a look at it. He kindly reminded Mr. Owen that this was more intoxicating.

“It’s just nice; I can experience it,” said Mr. Owen with a laugh.

Director Qiao enthusiastically poured wine for everyone. When it was his and Wen Yanqing’s turn, he also filled their glasses to the brim.

Mr. Owen was used to drinking hard liquor, so he emptied his small glass of white wine a few times. Wen Yanqing only drank a small glass at the beginning of the toast and did not touch the wine much.

This made things a little difficult. Director Qiao smiled and asked, “I remember that your alcohol tolerance isn’t bad. Why aren’t you drinking? Are you feeling unwell?”

“My girlfriend told me to drink less,” Wen Yanqing said.

Director Qiao laughed out loud. “That’s right. You have to listen to your wife. Otherwise, you’ll be taught a lesson when you go home.”

Wen Yanqing smiled faintly.

However, Director Qiao still took Wen Yanqing’s empty wine glass. As he spoke, he gestured for him to look at Mr. Owen. “Mr. Owen’s face is red. Is it that you can’t drink anymore?”

After saying that, he took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him and quietly made his move. After that, he placed the wine glass back in front of Wen Yanqing as if nothing had happened.

Wen Yanqing did not drink, making him feel a little anxious.

Later on, Mr. Owen started to get drunk after drinking too much. Director Qiao thought of something and picked up a clean glass to tamper with it secretly. He filled the glass half to the brim and handed it to Adeline. He smiled and said, “Mr. Owen is going back to rest. Miss Adeline, will you help to drink the last glass? Let’s raise our glasses.”

Adeline smiled as she took the cup and drank it. Wen Yanqing took a sip symbolically.

Director Qiao was a little disappointed. However, Zhou Manbai did not say how much he had to drink. Anyway, he had already done what he had to do, right?

Director Qiao pretended to look at Wen Yanqing with a troubled expression. “Mr. Owen is drunk. After all, he is our business partner. Let me send him back.”

Director Qiao pretended to help him up. Adeline said, “Let’s do it together. The place we booked is right here.”

Adeline unbuttoned her suit jacket, thinking about going back to take a shower and sober up.

After all, they were people who would be working with them in the future. Moreover, they were staying nearby. Out of responsibility, Wen Yanqing followed them over. After that, everyone dispersed. Seeing that he had done what he needed to do, Director Qiao was ready to leave.

The rest was none of his business.

Wen Yanqing felt a little warm and guessed that he had drunk too much. He had barely drunk alcohol in the past few months. Was his body not used to it?

He had just taken two steps when he bumped into Adeline. Adeline seemed to be in a bad state. She bumped into him and leaned towards him.

Wen Yanqing could almost feel the burning aura from her body. He immediately took half a step back, and Adeline came into contact with the air.

However, Adeline was like a cat that had smelled blood. She chased after Wen Yanqing and refused to let go. She was even a little groggy and wanted to cling onto him.

“Miss Adeline, please have some self-respect.” Wen Yanqing pulled away from her and took two steps away. He looked around and realized that there was no one around.

Adeline grew up in an open-minded country. There was nothing she wasn’t open to. She stepped forward and said, “Wen, help me. I’m feeling a little uncomfortable.”

Those who weren’t stupid could tell that she was drugged. Wen Yanqing also knew why his body felt peculiar. His calm face darkened little by little.

No matter how graceful Adeline’s figure was and how seductive her demeanor was, Wen Yanqing was unmoved, like an ascetic monk.

At this moment, a waiter came to the corridor and took out the room card to open the door. “This is this lady’s room card. Sir, are you her companion? Could you help her take it?”

What a coincidence. Wen Yanqing didn’t take the card and backhandedly pushed Adeline into the room, slamming the door shut for her..
